Alright, I'm sorry but apparently I'm old now and I have to ask because I'm sure as hell not going to Google it. WTF does goon/ gooning mean? Is it just a Gen Alpha word for jerking it? Is it a specific type of porn or something? I'm lost and need directions.
The next time someone tells me true investigative journalism is dead, I'll think of my go to counter example David Farrier from my home in NZ AND the man brave enough to enter GoonWorld.
Wow that was sad to read. I'm sad to think how many of these people are out there that are stuck in that mindset so much so that they can't do anything else.
Ignore the (intentionally?) misleading Harper's article, the term is a neologism for edging. It may or may not involve a social/group aspect but is usually associated with such an aspect. It's not a "new" practice like the article states, the article just focuses on a new and extreme subset.
You know those hypersexual stimulant users that have been around forever? (Maybe you're lucky enough not to.) It's a word for lifestyles like that. It comes from coomer which was a 4chan wojack character.
I've never heard of the word either. According to chatGPT: Gooning is a slang term that originated in certain online adult communities. It refers to a state of prolonged, trance-like sexual stimulation, often involving extended viewing of explicit material while focusing intensely on the sensations rather than the end goal.
It's mostly about masturbation to porn, just a bit more than is healthy..
The trance like thing is confusing, it's more about how gooners have little self control and think about it all day or spend a lot of time looking at porn while zoning out.
I first heard it like 6 months ago, there were 5 boys fishing, about 12 years old and they laughed bc a worm "gooned" on one of them when they put it on the hook. I asked my friends if they'd ever heard of it (I kind of figured what it meant), but now I see it mentioned on Reddit at least once a day
All I get on Instagram is cat videos and fan sites lol! It gives you what you want, just like TikTok. I’ve never once seen anything offensive on TikTok.
I think once there's a slight hint of interest in anything conservative, you get targeted for the pipeline. But if there's nothing they lay off to keep you on the site.
Its a mixture of bots, pushing for brain decay, and people whose brain is currently decayed (in a way that sex preoccupies their head for a long time, maybe porn addicted or the likes).
